Sonic Youth

On April 3, 1985, Sonic Youth delivered an electrifying performance at V2 in 's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands, during a pivotal time in their career. This live recording came on the heels of their breakthrough album 'Bad Moon Rising,' which was released in 1985. This album marked a significant exploration into darker themes and featured the experimental sound that Sonic Youth became known for, blending noise, alternative rock, and the emerging post-punk scene. Interestingly, the concert captures a moment just as they were gaining traction in the underground music scene, leading to greater recognition in the years that followed. The broadcast by Dutch VPRO radio not only showcased their raw energy but also highlighted their artistic integrity and desire to push boundaries in music.
